I’ve heard from Channel 4 that approx. 1/5 million viewers tuned in to watch the Monkey episode 14 at 1.40am last Friday night!!!!

If more and more people watch it, you never know, Channel 4 may move it to a better timeslot 😉

So if you can, please spread the word…

This week’s episode “Monkey Meets the Demon Digger” will be shown:
– Channel 4, Friday 15 August night, after midnight, at 01:50am – 02:45am.

It’s an absolute classic, and a little-known fact is that this episode features 2 songs sung by Masaaki Sakai, Monkey himself! (one of them is his Japanese version of the classic Godiego ballad “Thank You, Baby”)

Here’s my synopsis of this episode, that I wrote for the Monkey videos and DVDs…

Episode 15 – Friday 15 August 2003 night: 01:50am – 02:45am
(i.e. after midnight on *Friday night*)
Monkey Meets the Demon Digger
While climbing a mountain, the pilgrims discover a man who’s been digging a tunnel through the mountain for the past twenty-two years, to provide an easier route for travellers. Ever-helpful Tripitaka tells his reluctant disciples that they must all stay and help dig the tunnel until it’s finished. When Monkey uses his magic to help speed things up, Tripitaka is furious and dismisses him. Without Monkey around, the pilgrims fall into grave danger.

Don’t miss it!
